Consider that a computer system has a 32-bit address space, which means that it can address up to 2^32 memory locations. The system also has a paging mechanism, where each page frame is 4 KB in size.If the kernel occupies 16 MB of memory, how many page frames does it occupy?Answer( Please choose a correct answer )   CLEAR4096.04254.08192.016384.0

Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to understand that 1 KB (kilobyte) is equal to 1024 bytes, and 1 MB (megabyte) is equal to 1024 KB.

Given that the kernel occupies 16 MB of memory, we first convert this to KB:

16 MB * 1024 KB/MB = 16384 KB

Next, we know that each page frame is 4 KB in size. So, we divide the total size of the kernel by the size of each page frame to find out how many page frames the kernel occupies:

16384 KB / 4 KB/page frame = 4096 page frames

So, the kernel occupies 4096 page frames.

This problem has been solved
